Hard time costs humans the same amount whether they're rich or poor - insofar as the justice system is equally accessible and you can't just lawyer your way out if wealthy or get screwed by a disinterested public defender if poor, of course.

Money is amoral. It quickly becomes a calculation of ROI to violate the law. We've been reluctant for some reason to index fines against the wealth of the offender, but what would be a ruinous fine for a poor person is irrelevant to a wealthy person (eg. $1000 gag order violations). Also, the wheels of justice turn inexorably but slowly, and if first-to-market matters a lot with new there may be no fine that could restore things to the way it should have been if everyone acted within the law.

If we started prosecuting CEOs who don't meet goals/expectations, they'd all be in prison. You have to prove Elon was intentionally lying, which I suspect many on this forum are sympathetic to that view, but in a fair court system that is a difficult standard. You'd have to have emails or some other hard evidence where he acknowledges he knows he's being untruthful. Short of that kind of evidence coming out, they are most likely going after him for political reasons.

There isn't even a point to it if it requires you to keep your hands on the wheel and not look at your phone. I would want to use it so I could conduct business while the car took care of driving. If it still requires me to pay strict attention to the road and keep both hands on the wheel, then it's just a novelty to show off to passengers for a quick giggle, but not actually solving a problem.
Ask HN: For how long "Show HN" post have a chance to get noticed?
Hi. I would like to ask, what are your experiences with “Show HN” in the matter of how long the post has a chance to get any attention?

I posted my project hoping for feedback, but it seems, that it didn’t spark any immediate interest, and now I’m not sure if it still has a chance to get noticed.
It is not super techy, but still thought, that maybe someone here would be interested.
How often does that happen though? In practice very few developers work that way, and Mac apps tend to interact with each other more/better than Linux apps because of things like Cocoa services that aren't too hard to implement and provide N:M "thin waist" rallying points around common interaction patterns.

I'm German and I pay wayyyy more than 150€, that's why I'm asking. I'd say it's more like 1000-1500€ bucks, depending on how much you make.

I've used it (this weekend, in fact). It's very impressive.

It remains a far cry from this, which Musk tweeted (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/686279251293777920) eight years ago:

That said, trying to guess at the motivations of the diverse crowd here is fraught at best.
This site[1], which is a pretty comprehensive list of claims Musk has made and how long it’s been, made the rounds on HN a few times. It’s really incredible how much exaggeration comes out of the guy’s mouth. I don’t think it all counts as fraud, but at some point you gotta say Dude, Stop Talking.

> Android does garbage collection and Android is slower than iOS

There's a lot of things going on that make this the case.

Android was built with unrestrained multitasking; there's a lot of restraint now, but there's probably still a ton of stuff going on from unrelated processes while your foreground app is chugging along. iOS locks down background execution, and I suspect system apps have limited background execution as well. Less task switching and less cache pollution help a lot.

iOS only runs on premium phones. Even Apple's lower priced phones are premium phones. Android isn't necessarily quick on premium phones, but it can be much worse on phones designed to a $50 price point.

IMHO, A large issue is that the official UI toolkits are terribly slow. I'm more of a backend person, but I put together a terrible weather app, and first paint is very slow, even though it starts with placeholder data (or serialized data from a previous run); using an HTML view was much faster because it only makes one toolkit objeft and more capable because css layout lets you wrap text around an image nicely. Maybe there's some trick I'm not aware of to make 'native ui' not terrible on Android... but that experience helped me understand why everything is so slow to start.
Yeah, I should have added a caveat that I emailed the admins immediately after I found the administrator password and let them know what was going on. I did set my profile pic to goatse on the way out though, just to put a fire under them to fix it.

Do you think working at a FANG would make you a better developer? I’m sorry but I think that’s a bad expectation, hire from a startup if you want great developers, their span of control and influence is much wider. Most of us at FANG are pigeon holed into a very narrow topic, have to work with really annoying, slow and complex internal build systems. And write very little actual code. Also, unless you have global scale problems, a lot of the skills developed working at that level aren’t useful to smaller orgs and will just drive up costs. Dont look to FANGs for guidance is my advice.

I was thinking freediving as it requires less energy than flippers though I’m not sure the decreased maneuverability of having the thing attached to you would detract from what you are wanting to do when freediving. The article does say you can dive with it, though the devil is in the details eg how easy is it to turn around? I suspice it’s not nearly as easy as flippers

Another interesting use case would be just tossing one of these into a boat that you own, or a kayak or whatever. Basically extra insurance to get you back in case your motor dies or you get swept out, similar use case as the surfboard
It's not a paradox. It's just a different set of definitions. Someone can work long hours but produce nothing that helps the bottom line of the corporation. Now, usually these tasks are said to increase the long-term profitability or perhaps improve the firm's influence or reputation. Perhaps. But this allows people to make the claim that many could be fired without any real, immediate consequences.

BTW, it's easy for me from outside Google to spot these teams. Many are working on cool technical problems and some of those are being cut. Dart, for instance, was a neat language but it's not really going to be used much in the near future and the company will do quite well without it.

>Unlike RoseTTAFold and AlphaFold2, scientists will not be able to run their own version of AlphaFold3, nor will the code underlying AlphaFold3 or other information obtained after training the model be made public. Instead, researchers will have access to an ‘AlphaFold3 server’, on which they can input their protein sequence of choice, alongside a selection of accessory molecules. [. . .] Scientists are currently restricted to 10 predictions per day, and it is not possible to obtain structures of proteins bound to possible drugs.

This is unfortunate. I wonder how long until David Baker's lab upgrades RoseTTAFold to catch up.

From the videos, not much IMO. Presumably the guys doing it in the videos have a fair amount of experience with it, and it looks... awkward.

Flippers have a great deal of fine control in all axis, and this doesn't look like it does. I'm a pretty fair diver, but when you see guys who dive all the time, they look like they were born with those flippers.

And free divers? I can't imagine them giving up their fins. They take advantage of the really long and strong muscles in the legs.
The issue is the fines aren't a big deterrence as they're not that big. A lot of fines are less than the money the company made or saved with the illicit activity so it just becomes a line item cost more than an actual penalty.
> What is different about the new AlphaFold3 model compared to AlphaFold2?

> AlphaFold3 can predict many biomolecules in addition to proteins. AlphaFold2 predicts structures of proteins and protein-protein complexes. AlphaFold3 can generate predictions containing proteins, DNA, RNA, ions,ligands, and chemical modifications. The new model also improves the protein complex modelling accuracy. Please refer to our paper for more information on performance improvements.

AlphaFold 2 generally produces looping “ribbon-like” predictions for disordered regions. AlphaFold3 also does this, but will occasionally output segments with secondary structure within disordered regions instead, mostly spurious alpha helices with very low confidence (pLDDT) and inconsistent position across predictions.

So the criticism towards AlphaFold 2 will likely still apply? For example, it’s more accurate for predicting structures similar to existing ones, and fails at novel patterns?

A gun is a terrible close quarters weapon. A gun is so good at long range that you can typically ensure you never get into a close quarters fight, but once it becomes close quarters you want something else. (with a gun you do have to keep the muzzle pointed away from you - but one hit with the bat will damage the barrel enough that it isn't safe to fire)

I've been giving some thought to this. I wonder if an iPad would suffice in front of the tv and just ssh into a Mac Mini for dev work. I'd love an iPad but I can't justify it either because of the limitation of hardware capabilities. I also don't really want to purchase two machines just for dev tasks and travel. But, I think having that kind of lifestyle will be expensive no matter the approach.

I will pile on on MS Teams. I am on a Mac and periodically have to fight it because it went offline on me for some reason and I am no longer getting messages. Slightly less annoying is when my iPhone goes to sleep and Teams on my iPhone then sets my status to "Away", even though I am actively typing on Teams on my computer.

And while my particular problems might be partially because I am on MacOS, I observe Windows-using colleagues have just as many problems joining meetings (either total refusal, no audio, or sharing issues). So I think using Teams as a measure of any computer is probably not warranted.
There was this thread[0] around here about one buyer of FSD who took Tesla to small claims court and Tesla settled with them. Looks like it's easy enough to do.

It's just that Tesla demands gag clauses in the settlement which may be accepted by many people and we might never know how many settlements are out there. Thankfully the author in this instance knew they were going to win and there would be no gag clauses then. So why accept them in the settlement? Tesla caved, because they knew this too.

I also have the feeling that you are talking to a different person. I'm talking about latency, you are talking about bandwidth. I'm talking about concurrency, you are talking about parallelism.

You can scale up any Rails app super easily by throwing money at the problem, it's trivial. When a single page load or API request to it takes 20 seconds, it doesn't help you if you have 1000 servers that can respond to hundreds of requests in 20 seconds each, when you need that request served in 500ms. This means that while serving a single request you might need to do things concurrently (like make an http request to an authz service and do a db query at the same time).

"Self driving" means something. There are industry standards for that phraseology that pre-date Tesla's (mis)usage.

"Autopilot" may have been colloquially misleading (because of the public's unfamiliarity with aviation), but I don't think that name was problematic. Autopilot in planes can historically look like a basic cruise control.

However, some of the associated statements and demonstrations at that time were problematic. (e.g. "The person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.")
That's not quite true. Many of the investments did quite good and outperformed alternatives. Investment in anthropic AI would be a good example.
I think Martha Stewart went to jail for insider trading idk how similar that is. With OTA updates still could claim this could happen.

That's a moot point if anti-air missiles shot down the plane before it even got to its target zone. We're not in the 80s anymore, radars are networked and missiles are much more capable.
fair wages do not prevent innovation. on the contrary. because unhappy employees will also make innovation difficult. i do believe that unions in europe understand that european companies need to innovate more to compete globally.

but unlike some american unions they do not hold the companies hostage. union shops do not exist. they can not demand that every employee joins the union. they do not control what tasks individual employees are allowed to do. they negotiate contracts and work conditions. that's all.

Certificates are not things that are centrally managed.

If you get a certificate from a CA (DigiCert, AWS,Google...etc), they hand you the certificate after necessary verification but otherwise have nothing to do with how you use (TLS traffic) it.

The same with something like age verification. Once you have a certificate that attests to your age (as of certificate issue date), the issuer has nothing to do with how you use it, the receiver of signatures generated from that certificate (via private key) can verify it without any interaction with issuer.

As for misuse, that's certainly a concern but it can be addressed via the issuing process. Certisfy does address this issue.

A fundamental requirement for making a certificate scheme work is that certificates are anchored to IRL identity via identity anchor certificates in a privacy preserving manner. You can read up on the approach here: https://cipheredtrust.com/doc/#pki-id-anchoring

The title OP gave accurately reflects the title of Google's blog post. Title should not be editorialized.
Yes. I prefer PostgreSQL but more than a few clients who were already built on MySQL are still using it or MariaDB. As for managed provider, typically AWS RDS, or a few are still directly hosted. MariaDB is easy to run natively for a small to medium site on a VPS.

Biggest pain points are pretty much transactions around schema changes (Ruby on Rails context) meaning is possible to trash a database with changes that go wrong. Also implementing full text search is always a bit harder than it is with PostgreSQL. The capability is there but end up having to do custom queries.
Elon Musk signed contracts claiming he would deliver this in the future? There are verbal contracts, so what you're really saying was that he was in the room with each buyer, individually or with a group of them (such that he was aware of the identities of those he was contracting with), and made a legally binding verbal contract where he told them he would deliver these software features, under what conditions they would be delivered (time, location, other details), and then shook their hands?

Stretching contracts in the way you'd do it wouldn't be good for anyone.
